Everything to the rear of the engine will work. You need to accommodate a 2" longer engine to the front. Engine mount and radiator core need to move forward and there are several ways to do this, move the radiator forward in the support and relocate the radiator fill cap, or have a new radiator made with the fill cap in the stock location. I had a 265 in my '46 WDX.
